Fall at the beach can mean it’s still in the 80s! Here are a few fall curb appeal tips for homes and condos to update your curb appeal even when it does not quite feel like fall yet.
Fall Curb Appeal Tips for Homes
- Trim shrubs and trees at the appropriate time.
- Plant bulbs that bloom in the spring.
- Switch out your spring and summer annuals with fall annuals like mums, pansies, kale and ornamental peppers.
- Add some pumpkins and gourds but keep an eye on them as they can deteriorate quickly when the weather is still warm.
- Make sure your outdoor lighting is sufficient. As our days get shorter, you want to make sure you have appropriate lighting around your home.
Fall Curb Appeal Tips for Condos
You can still update your curb appeal in the fall if you live in a condo or townhouse, but you may need to check with your HOA.
- Change out your front door wreath and door mat to a fall theme.
- Switch out your spring and summer annuals with fall annuals like mums, pansies, kale and ornamental peppers.
- Freshen up your porch or balcony with some fall throw pillows.
- Use pumpkins and gourds to decorate your front door or porch/balcony, if allowed by your HOA.
Two of my favorite local places to help spruce up my fall curb appeal are True Blue Nursery in Pawleys Island and Inlet Culinary Gardens in Murrells Inlet. Inlet Culinary Gardens is a great place to get heirloom pumpkins and gourds in the fall.
